<div dir="ltr">Stable hackage is quiet similar but has a different philosophy of solving the dependency problems with hackage. I am not proposing to cover all the functionalities of boost but leaning towards following a similar philosophy. We could start with libraries covering functionality of c++ stl (some of them are already implemented in containers) and then see where this goes. I know it requires real hard work and dedication and thats why I raised this as a community proposal to see if people are actually interested. <div>

It's not only "algorithms and data structures" -<br>
it also contains Filesystem, System, Interprocess etc.<br>
<br>
Perhaps "stable hackage" goes in this direction?<br>

Reading the Boost FAQ and History might prove useful,<br>
( <a href="http://www.boost.org/users/proposal.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.boost.org/users/proposal.pdf</a> )<br>
as perhaps the process could be emulated.<br>
<br>
One way or the other - such a plan needs dedication,<br>
but also hard resources (time, money).<br>
<br>
Looks like a task for <a href="http://industry.haskell.org/" target="_blank">http://industry.haskell.org/</a><br>
but of course they decide where they put their money.<br>
And they do, e.g., they sponsor Hackage(2)<br>
